One of the most women empowering books
I’ve reread this book multiple times. I’ve never been able to read a book so fast not wanting it to end. The best this about this book is the author wrote this about themselves and everything is so honest. Everything is moral and relatable. This book makes you feel seen and gives you a path and the strength to move when you’ve thought you belonged at this place your whole life. I keep waiting for another book for her to put out. You fall in love with the person who wrote it not just her story.

Inspiring and beautifully written
I read many reviews of the book before reading it, and I was worried if I would like it or not. One of the reviews said that it was boring, and it was just another woman thinking she had her life finally figured out. I kept those sentences with me while reading the book. I've been trying to figure out that myself, and while reading glennon's work, I felt that through the book she was trying to find that herself too. The book is a journey. She talks about addiction, love, kids, society, beliefs, happiness, sadness. It is beautifully written, and I kept many tabs and highlights in case I ever see myself in a similar situation, because very chapter was a new lesson. If you love memoirs, "becoming" stories, and love highlighting quotes that sound very powerful, this book is for you. I've referenced glennon in many college essays, and my teachers LOVE her work.

Couldn’t Wait For It To End
I gave up on this book with 56 pages left. It seems that in every chapter of this book it is Glennon’s way or the highway. There is no room for error or a difference of opinion in her world.

Excellent! Highly Recommend for all women!
Glennon Doyle's voice is clear, vulnerable, and wise. She speaks about her life but in a way that speaks to so many experiences women go through. I absolutely loved this!

Solid!
I enjoyed this book! I do think that it’s very relatable in all forms. It’s got a little bit of everything to it. I took a lot away in terms of how I want to be as a parent and woman. I do think that this might resonate more with white women than POCs just because that’s the perspective it shares. Very solid read.

Sounds good at first
At first glance and read her stories (metaphors) are thought provoking and interesting. However, after deeper thoughts I grew to have a different opinion. For example, the upheaval and grief that the dissolution of her marriage caused her children is package to be some kind of character building exercise for them to “burn” to find that they are “fireproof.” And while is can be true that our struggles can make us stronger, Doyle does not seem to think that access to her mother (the grandmother of the children) would be good for the children until her mother accepts the situation exactly the way Doyle does. So which is it? The upheaval of their lives is good for them but the love and concern of a caring grandmother is not? She criticizes mothers who shield their children but the. 2 chapters later explains her island metaphor for protecting her children? I began to feel that the books was a long explanation (and not a very logical one) and justification for the pain created by her bad choice of a husband and her desire to leave him after finding out he cheated on her and she decided she loved someone else after meeting them for 1 minute. I can’t help but think her next book may be about how she effed up the teenage years of her kids and how she has to help them work through the trauma into their 20’s and beyond.
